The IMPACT of Metal Roof Screws RUSTING and
HOW to PREVENT DAMAGE
Rust, the most feared phenomenon and common enemy among builders and owners alike of any building structure, especially ones that are exposed to the elements. For Costal Areas, salt haze formed by evaporation of sea spray and SALT in the AIR, corrodes and weakens the metal roof structure and ALSO THE METAL ROOF SCREWS.
In other areas, Corrosion may result from ACIDS spread from Industry, VAPORS from AGRICULTURAL Spray FERTILIZERS or PESTICIDES, Fumes from Petrochemical sites, UV Ray exposure and humidity. METAL ROOF SCREW RUSTING will have a negative impact on METAL ROOFS regardless of its root cause of failure.
A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT … that the majority fail to realize is that METAL ROOF SHEETS will live up to its projected life expectancy only if the SCREW and ACCESSORIUES used alongside them PERFORM equally as well. The overall lifespan of the METAL ROOF covered area depends on whether there are METAL ROOF SCREWS RUSTING OR NOT.
One of the main reasons oftentimes we see really high-tech metal roofing sheets that are fixed with screws that offer LITTLE OR NO Weathering Resistance at all, which totally negates the purpose of using these HIGHLY CORRSION – RESISTANT Metal Roof Panels in the first place.
HOW TO PREVENT METAL ROOF DAMAGE by RUSTING SCREWS
We suggest annual inspections in Coastal Areas, high humidity or highly polluted areas, and biennial inspections in other areas. When Rusted or CORROSIN is observed in the Metal Roof Screws, Rust is an immediate threat to the metal roof panel.
RUSTING SCREWS can LOOSEN the HOLDING CAPACITY of the METAL ROOF, thereby making the roof panels acceptable to HIGH WIND, UPLIFT and BLOW OFF.
The Problem with Metal Roofs and WALLS
- Screws and fasteners rust and corrode.
- Screws get Loose and BACK OUT of the hole.
- Screws become LOOSE and can be turned (both directions) with your fingers BUT – DO NOT TIGHTEN.
- HIGH Winds and Severe Weather can BLOW OFF THE ROOF PANELS or the WALL PANELS when the screws are not securing the Metal Panel properly.
- Loose and Rusted SCREWS can LEAK and allow WATER INTRUSION.

HERE”s What The Major Metal Roof Panel and Metal Building Company
MBCI
the industry Leading Manufacturer of Metal Roof and Wall Systems says about
Preventing ROOF DAMAGE
from Rusted Fasteners
These days, the majority of metal roofs are made from Galvalume coated steel, which typically carry a wareranty against perforation due to rusting for a period of 20 years. A study on Galvalume standing seam roofs (SSR) conducted at the behest of the MEtal Construction Association (MCA) showed that a properly installed Galvalume SSR can be expected to last 60 years of more. HOWEVER, the caveat is “properly installed”. One of the major issues that will drastically REDUCE the SERVICE LIFE of e GALVALUME-Coated ROOF is the use of NON-LONG LIFE Fasteners in exposed locations.
Anytime you have an EXPOSED FASTENER on a Metal ROOF, YOU RISK RUST, the term commonly used for corrosion and oxidation of iron and its alloys. While a little rust might not seem like a BID DEAL…it’s presence can actually be a harninger of SEVERE DAMAGE to your METAL ROOF PANELS, if not CAUGHT EARLY, or ideally, stopped before it ever has a chance to start.
The issue is most prevalent on R-PANEL roof due to the use of EXPOSED FASTENERS. And even with standing seam roofs, which use clips and are typically referred to as a concealed fastener roofs, there are exposed fasteners as well, most often at the eave, the end laps and at the trim, such as ridge flash, rake trim and high eave trim.
PREVENTION
The best recommendation for any exposed fasteners (meaning they are exposed to the weather and other harmful elements), is that they ahsould be LONG-LIFE Fasteners. When you don’t use LONG-LIFE Fasteners, they start rusting with exposure to moisture and over time, the rust virus stretches down to the roof, casuing severe and often irreparable damage.
WHAT IF RUST DOES OCCUR?
One question frequently asked is: If the fasteners do become rusty, do you have to replace all the PANELS? If you catch the problem BEFORE the rust virus makes its way down to the roof itself, you can just change our the screws. However, if the rust has compromised the roof, you very likely would have to change our all the panels, at the least everything that has been affected, just because of one little spot.
CONCLUISION
If that;’s the case and you catch it early, when it’s just the screws that are rusting, but the rust virus hasn’t yet tranfered down onto the roof, you can just change out the screws with The PROPER LONG-LIFE Fasteners. We recommend doing a ROOF INSPECTION Atleast ONCE PER YEAR. IF you see any LOOSE or RUSTY SCREWS, Replace them as needed.
